Re: printf function

Chris, I'm not exactly sure what you are asking. If I use the code you posted, I get the result you seem to want. If you want printf() to directly format the date and time, I don't think that printf() has a format to handle that directly. You will have to pre-format the date and time just as you did in your post.

I tried: printf("<br><div class ... posted by %s on $tDate, $tTime\n"); I know this works with echo, but want to find the answer, if there is one, to this printf function. Thanks!
